Restricted Area - Chapter 2
After the summer solstice, the temperature gradually rose.
The quiet community is not like a noisy city. There is no headache of noise pollution. Only the horns of a fixed-point train rang across a distant bridge.
Jiang Chijing didn’t really like summer at first. The dazzling light and sticky sweat made him feel disgusted. He rarely engages in outdoor activities under the scorching sun. Even the prisoners in the prison ridiculed him. His skin is white. He doesn’t look like a prison guard at all.
But just this summer, Jiang Chijing suddenly changed his mind about this season.
It’s not an unforgettable reason, just because the hotter the weather, the more generous the neighbors on the opposite side.
Usually, this neighbor would put on a featureless housewear as soon as he got home from get off work. The loose white short sleeves blocked his proud figure, and made Jiang Chijing who was secretly peeping feel dull.
However, recently, due to the hotter weather, the neighbors on the opposite side began to walk around the house without clothes.
Once Jiang Chijing saw him naked and wearing an apron cooking steak. If Jiang Chijing hadn’t considered himself a **** with a bottom line, he almost didn’t take out his mobile phone to sneak a photo of this visually exciting scene.
If nothing else, this plain voyeuristic daily routine will continue, but one day, Jiang Chijing drove home from get off work and found that the neighbor opposite was a bit abnormal.
The Southern Prison is located in the suburbs, only more than ten minutes’ drive away from the community where Jiang Chijing lives.
Jiang Chijing leaves work at five o’clock every day, and the elite on the opposite side will not return home until nine or ten o’clock in the evening.
Today, Jiang Chijing, as usual, parked the car in the private garage in the yard, and as soon as he got out of the car, he heard more violent punches coming from the opposite side.
Thinking that he had heard it wrong, he deliberately came to the bedroom on the second floor and took a peek, only to see that the man opposite was indeed punching.
This is abnormal because today is a working day.
What is more abnormal is that the man’s hand is not wrapped with a white bandage, and he punches the swaying sandbag with one punch, not as if he is practicing punches, but as if he is venting.
His expression was also different from usual, the eyebrows were full of gloomy birds, his eyes were not focused on the sandbag, but stared at a certain point ahead, as if he was punching and thinking about something.
This thing shouldn’t be a good thing, Jiang Chijing thought.
The man’s irritability was obvious, and Jiang Chijing couldn’t help but guess what happened.
Maybe he lost his job, so he punches at home in the afternoon on weekdays. And the reason why he lost his job may be sexual harassment of colleagues…
Wait, why is it sexual harassment?
Don’t put a dirty hat on someone just because they look sexy.
Jiang Chijing took a step back and re-guessed the reasons why social elites would lose their jobs. At this moment, the man on the opposite side suddenly stopped, put his fists on his chest, and looked up his fists.
There seemed to be something on the fist, Jiang Chijing couldn’t really see it, so he could only take out his monoculars.
Aiming at the target, and then zooming in on the screen, Jiang Chijing can see clearly that there are sporadic blood stains on the man’s joints.
This is not surprising, who made this person not bandaged, punching so hard would definitely hurt his skin.
But then, a scene that surprised Jiang Chijing appeared.
The man stared at the blood stain for a while, then suddenly stuck out his tongue and licked the injured joint.
The weird picture made Jiang Chijing’s heart jump and he subconsciously put down the binoculars, but within a second, he couldn’t help picking it up again and continue to observe the man’s behavior.
The expression that was ruthless just now has disappeared, replaced by a calm, unwavering heart. The man’s anger seemed to have been vented in the boxing, and his face was expressionless now, but Jiang Chijing could still see that he was thinking about things.
This time it was more calm thinking.
Jiang Chijing was always very accurate in seeing people, but at this moment, he actually had an inexplicable feeling.
He thought of the most dangerous prisoner in prison. The look of the man licking blood was exactly the same as those of the prisoners. He couldn’t help but wonder, how many faces does this man still have?
That night, Jiang Chijing didn’t touch the telescope again. He felt that he needed to slow down, otherwise he would be terribly curious about the neighbors opposite.
The night was spent entirely by watching TV. News from various stations broadcasted the recent economic sensation in the country. A short seller was suspected of maliciously shorting dozens of stocks, gaining improper benefits of nearly 100 million yuan.
The case is currently under investigation, and the preliminary investigation is the personal behavior of the agency’s employees.
Cases happen every day, and there is never a shortage of new people in prison. Jiang Chijing turned off the TV with lack of interest, read the book for a while, and went to bed on time at eleven o’clock.
The watch placed on the bedside table is two minutes slower than the standard time. This is a common problem of old mechanical watches, and it will be inaccurate when you walk.
It’s not that Jiang Chijing has no money to buy a new watch. On the contrary, the salary of working in prison is much better than that of ordinary office workers. He just couldn’t bear to replace the things left by the elders in the family, after all, this watch is already half a family heirloom.
Winding is a work that requires patience. Jiang Chijing twisted it for a long time. Seeing that it was about to be finished, there was a sound of spring dislocation in the dial. The next moment, the clockwork in his hand suddenly loosened.
Very well, he broke the mainspring.
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Chijing thought that it shouldn’t be a big problem, so he thought of solving it by himself.
Two hours later.
Jiang Chijing threw aside the mobile phone playing the instructional video, and looked at the scattered clock parts on the table with a headache.
Sure enough, professional people still have to do professional things. He shouldn’t overestimate himself and want to repair the watch on a whim.
It was a little over midnight, and the community streets outside were terribly quiet.
Although Jiang Chijing is only twenty-seven years old and a young man, he usually leads a healthy life, and he rarely hasn’t slept in the middle of the night like he is now.
Turn off the ceiling light and lie down on the bed. Before falling asleep, Jiang Chijing habitually opened the curtains and glanced at the situation on the opposite side.
The goose-yellow building melted into the night perfectly, and only the lone street lamp exuded a quiet light.
Jiang Chijing didn’t particularly put down the curtains, but for some reason, he always felt a strange sense of contradiction in the images that remained in his mind.
He lifted the curtains again and took a look. Sure enough, he saw a sneaky black figure lingering outside the small courtyard opposite.
The figure looked around for a while, then moved lightly into the iron fence, which was neither high nor low.
Jiang Chijing immediately thought of the crime of “illegal trespassing into a house”. He sat up straight and stared at the figure’s every move in the dark.
The man in black circled the house first, then came to the side of the building, and climbed along the pipe to the second floor.
That person should be a thief.
Jiang Chijing quickly made a judgment, but after a while, he overturned this conclusion, because the man in black didn’t know what tools he used, and he opened the window and turned into the bedroom.
The thief can’t enter the owner’s bedroom so blatantly. After all, that is the most dangerous place. No matter what, you should go to the living room downstairs and search around.
The surrounding air was so quiet as if nothing happened, Jiang Chijing could only hear the infinitely amplified heartbeat.
He held the phone in his hand and was ready to call the police at any time, but before the real action, he left a buffer time. If the neighbor on the opposite side can detect the invasion of the man in black in time, then he does not need to expose his existence.
No **** is willing to show his sense of existence in front of the person being peeped, and Jiang Chijing is no exception.
But his situation is slightly more special. Before being transferred to prison, he was working as a recorder in the court. He was used to seeing various trials on weekdays, and he formed a set of unique moral standards in his heart.
-If you do something bad, you must make up for it.
For example, now, he has taken advantage of the other side for so long, so he should help when the other side needs help.
After a few seconds of buffering time passed, the bedroom on the opposite side was still completely dark. Jiang Chijing quickly called the police, but his nerves did not relax.
If the man in black was not a thief, who would it be?
Having encountered many murderers in the prison, the word “killer” inevitably came to Jiang Chijing’s mind.
Maybe he thinks too much, but it’s not impossible.
Although the nearest police station is one kilometer away, just one minute is enough to hurt a person’s life.
It is too dangerous to continue like this, and he must find a way to remind his neighbors.
Jiang Chijing didn’t shout loudly. After all, he couldn’t figure out the identity of the man in black. He didn’t want to bring danger to him. He looked around, grabbed the signature pen on the desk, and threw it at the bedroom window opposite.
However, the signature pen was still too light, and fell in the yard opposite.
Jiang Chijing had to search for important items again. He opened the desk drawer, and then he saw the ink bottle placed inside.
The ink bottle was smashed on the outer wall next to the window, and the bottle was torn apart with a “pop”, leaving a blooming ink-colored flower on the light-colored wall.
Regardless of whether the neighbor was awakened or not, Jiang Chijing knew that this must have attracted the attention of the man in black. Before he could hesitate, he took out a bottle of perfume that his ex-boyfriend gave him from the drawer.
This time the perfume bottle accurately smashed into the opposite bedroom, and within a second, the light was on, and two figures were reflected on the thin curtains-one was half arched, and the body was a little stiff, the other turned over and got out of the bed. Without hesitation, he swept a whip leg over.
Jiang Chijing put his hands on the window frame, watching the movement on the other side intently.
In the dark night, the picture in front of you is like an open-air movie, with the lights on the rectangular curtain, and the two in the movie presents a wonderful fighting scene.
But if you have to say it, Jiang Chijing’s neighbors have the upper hand.
His punches were not sloppy in the slightest, punches to the flesh, and hit the key. Jiang Chijing knows some fighting skills, like his neighbor’s style of play, in international fighting competitions, he will be sentenced to violations for being too fierce.
The outcome was quickly decided, and at the same time, a police car drove up not far away.
After retiring, Jiang Chijing breathed a sigh of relief and closed the curtains again, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a loud noise.
Curiosity caused him to open the corner of the curtain again, only to see a broken window in the bedroom opposite. The man in black was lying on the concrete floor on the first floor in pain, with a piece of glass **** beside him, while his neighbor was holding the window with his hands. Framed, looking at the picture downstairs coldly.
Jiang Chijing couldn’t help feeling a little strange. The man in black had been beaten to the point where he couldn’t fight back. If he fell from the second floor, it would only be a situation where he wanted to escape.
But this way the windows should not be broken.
Jiang Chijing thought of another possibility. His neighbor beat the man in black who had invaded his house from upstairs. Seeing his indifferent expression, it was probably deliberate.
In other words, he didn’t care about the life and death of the man in black at all.
Thinking back to the scene of him licking the wound, Jiang Chijing suddenly felt a feeling that this man seemed more dangerous than he thought.
At this moment, the man opposite seemed to suddenly realize that someone had just given him a reminder. He stood by the window and raised his eyes without warning.
A falcon-like sight shot straight in this direction, and the sense of inquiry was heavily guarded.
Jiang Chijing was shocked, and quickly put down the curtains and hid in the darkness.
